Qiu Xiang closed her eyes, her long, thick eyelashes trembling gently like a butterfly with broken wings, making her look pitiful. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Linghu Lan carefully observed the expression on her face. This expression did not belong to Qiu Xiang, but it was also very familiar. She had seen it somewhere before.
Her brows furrowed, and a flash of insight crossed her mind.
Linghu Lan quickly caught this fleeting flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered where she had seen such an expression before.
She released Qiu Xiang's chin, looked at her coldly, and couldn't help but sneer. "Ning Yue, you're really something, you're back so quickly."
Qiu Xiang lowered her head slightly, and her spirit changed drastically. The fear on her face also changed, turning into dejection and frustration.
She looked up at Linghu Lan and said with a bitter smile, "My life is really bad. What's the point of coming back? I still ran into you again."
She stood a little further away from Linghu Lan, as she was always very wary of her.
Linghu Lan was momentarily dazed.
What an unkillable female lead!!
To be able to be resurrected a second time, such luck is truly unparalleled.
The two stood side by side, watching the sea of fire.
Many people began to flee from the fire, and the whole scene was chaotic.
Linghu Lan was not at peace. She was certain that the girl she had carried out was indeed Qiu Xiang, and the girl who had happily said she wanted to go to the capital with her was also Qiu Xiang.
After Qiu Xiang finished speaking, Ning Yue appeared.
Ning Yue didn't want to go to the capital with him, which is why she suddenly jumped out and instinctively tried to stop him.
This means that two souls exist within Qiu Xiang's body at the same time.
Linghu Lan: "..."
This situation is more complicated.
When the Ning Yue from the past and future possessed Ning Yue's body, it could burn the real Ning Yue's corpse, and the fake Ning Yue would naturally become a ghost.
But now that two souls are sharing one body, she can't just kill Qiu Xiang. If she did, the real Qiu Xiang wouldn't survive either. She can't be sure that Qiu Xiang has the same luck as Ning Yue, who was able to possess another body twice.
Ning Yue really gave her a difficult problem.
Perhaps sensing Linghu Lan's murderous aura, Ning Yue flinched, a hint of sorrow appearing on her face. She whispered, "This time, I didn't mean to."
Linghu Lan's gaze shifted to the sea of fire. She was furious when she thought about how she had just carried the female lead to safety!
Where is Qiu Xiang?
Ning Yue paused for a moment, then said, "She's inside my body. I called her to come and explain to you. She didn't know I was there until now."
After saying that, Qiu Xiang's expression changed. Her quick-witted and capable look vanished, replaced by a bewildered and helpless expression. She looked at Linghu Lan with fear in her eyes: "Grandma, I...I think I'm hiding something."
Linghu Lan: "..." She's really adorably naive!
"Tell me in detail how you fell into the water and how you got out."
Qiu Xiang was taken aback by Linghu Lan's tone and seemed to realize that this matter was of great importance. She hurriedly began to stammer and recount the whole story.
"I was pushed into the water and saw an official bringing a woman over. The official beckoned and my soul left my body, but it felt like someone was pulling me back into the water. This happened several times. The official got annoyed and left the woman behind. He came over and tried to take me away himself."
